President Donald Trump offered well-wishes to reporters aboard Air Force One as he returned to the United States following his state visit to the United Kingdom.
But he then added a comment that critics said proved his self-centeredness.
“Thank you, everybody. Have a good flight. Fly safely,” Trump told the press pool after railing against late-night comedians who mock him, amid the uproar over ABC’s suspension of Jimmy Kimmel.
Then he added: “You know why I say that? Because I’m on the flight. Otherwise I wouldn’t care.”
